A cheerful interactive book that will spur children's imagination while they laugh and learn.

Why? is an original take on entertaining children while teaching them about the animal kingdom. The book poses questions that children are likely to ask about 14 animals: Why do elephants have trunks? Why do walruses have moustaches? Why do kangaroos have pouches? Why do whales spout water?

"Fake" answers are sure to cause giggles and they may just emerge as jokes during dinnertime: Elephants use their trunks to store snot; Walruses use their moustaches to tickle babies; Kangaroos have pouches to carry toys; Whales spout water because they have runny noses.

The correct answers are easy to read and scientifically correct. Why? encourages children to invent their own answers and even come up with new animal species. It is an especially good choice for class story time as well as bedtime.

Industry Reviews

This charming book teaches little ones about animal kingdom. There are questions and answers about different animals. Each question includes silly and scientifically correct answers. An example question is Why are Zebras striped? I love this approach to teach kids about animals. It promotes critical thinking, imagination, conversations, and creativity. It is easy to read and eye catching. I asked my kiddo "why do crocodiles cry"? and she said "because they want candy". Haha! Grab this book to see what the scientifically correct answer is (and many more). A sweet and interactive book will have kids laughing, giggling and having a good time while learning. We sure did!--Olga Popivker "Stylish Modern Motherhood" (1/28/2019 12:00:00 AM)
(review of previous version) Why? is a book for both the smart-aleck and the knowledge-seeker -- which co-exist, of course, in every child.--Bonnie Deigh "Foreword Reviews" (8/18/2009 12:00:00 AM)
